Progressives "Coming Out Screaming" Against America Progressives have already begun bashing America, in an attempt to dissuade moviegoers from seeing the highly-anticipated film. Dinesh D'Souza contrasted the current flurry of negative reviews with the left's strategy concerning his last film, 2016: Obama's America, where they essentially ignored it as long as they could. America has become "too big too early for the left to ignore," D'Souza said. "The left is coming out screaming. And I frankly think it's fantastic. We are seeing clearly the hatred of the left, and, far from intimidating me, I welcome it." Read more here.

Congressman Randy Forbes | |  | | | | In May of this year, Lois Lerner, the former Director of the Internal Revenue Service's tax-exempt division, was held in contempt of Congress for her refusal to testify regarding her role in an IRS scandal where government officials targeted politically active conservative groups for increased scrutiny on applications for tax-exempt status.
As a part of ongoing Congressional probes, a formal request for Lerner's email records was made. However, the IRS - responding to these requests - claimed a crash of Lerner's computer hard drive and the recycling of backup tapes as reasons for their inability to provide the records to Congress.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen recently testified that he learned about a problem with Lerner's computer in February and about the missing emails in April; however, the IRS did not notify Congress of the problem until June.
In response, Congressman Forbes called not only for an independent special counsel to lead the investigation, but also for independent computer forensics investigators to recover this critical information.
Question of the week: Do you believe an independent special counsel should be appointed to lead the IRS investigation?
( ) Yes.
( ) No.
( ) I don't know.
( ) Other.

Dinesh D'Souza Attacks Government's Legal Actions Against Aaron Swartz in New Film America Dinesh D'Souza's latest film, America, includes a segment examining the Obama administration's handling of the Aaron Swartz case. The segment includes an interview with Rand Paul, who discusses some of the long-term ramifications of the government's abuse of power. "I wanted to share the story of Aaron Swartz in order to help Americans to recognize the kind of power that our government has over us and how they can use that power," D'Souza said. "Americans across the spectrum should unite against this kind of heavyhanded abuse of power." Watch the clip from America here. 
Petition to Allow Soldiers to See America Begins A petition on the White House's "We The People" page is requesting that the Obama administration allow Dinesh D'Souza's new film America to be released on U.S. military bases around the world. The petition needs 100,000 signatures to succeed. "At this time," the petition reads, "there are no plans for the film to be released on U.S. military bases around the world. Since this is a patriotic film that celebrates America, we are asking the White House to allow this film to be seen by the men and women who have sacrificed for our country, at movie theaters around the world which happen to be located on U.S. military installations."

Congressman Randy Forbes | | | | | | Last week, a Sunni extremist group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), intensified its attempts to overthrow the Shiite-majority Iraqi government and military. ISIL, which originally grew out of Al Qaeda, has overtaken major cities in Iraq and is currently moving toward the capital in Baghdad. The Sunnis and Shiites represent two branches of Islam in Iraq where political and sectarian rifts between the two have resulted in years of political violence.
Yesterday, President Obama said, "The United States will continue to increase our support to Iraqi security forces. We're prepared to create joint operation centers in Baghdad and northern Iraq to share intelligence and coordinate planning to confront the terrorist threat of ISIL. And through our new Counterterrorism Partnership Fund, we're prepared to work with Congress to provide additional equipment. We have had advisers in Iraq through our embassy, and we're prepared to send a small number of additional American military advisers -- up to 300 -- to assess how we can best train, advise, and support Iraqi security forces going forward. American forces will not be returning to combat in Iraq, but we will help Iraqis as they take the fight to terrorists who threaten the Iraqi people, the region, and American interests as well."
Question of the week: Do you believe the United States should get involved in the current situation in Iraq?
( ) Yes.
( ) No.
( ) I don't know.
( ) Other.

Congressman Randy Forbes | | | | | According to widely circulated news reports, 60,000 youth will cross our nation's southern border this year, up tenfold from 2011. According to Reuters, the number of illegal immigrants under the age of 18 entering our country is likely to double in 2015 to nearly 130,000, costing American taxpayers $2 billion. So far, unaccompanied youth have been housed in shelters in Arizona and military bases in Texas, California, and Oklahoma.
This month, the Department of Justice announced a new program to enroll approximately 100 lawyers and paralegals to provide legal services at taxpayer expense to youth crossing our border unaccompanied by their parents.
Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security announced a renewal of the Administration's policy to grant relief from deportation to youth brought into the United States illegally by their parents, if they meet certain criteria. According to the Department, as of April, over 560,000 individuals have already received such relief.
Opponents, including Congressman Forbes, have criticized the Administration for prioritizing amnesty over the security of our borders and enforcing the law. Read more about Congressman Forbes' work opposing amnesty and securing the border here.
Question of the week: Do you support the actions taken by the Administration regarding the surge of youth crossing the border?
( ) Yes.
( ) No.
( ) I don't know.
( ) Other.
